Rosetta Stone® Hindi Reviews

Your Request

"Rosetta Stone is a very effective language learning tool. I started learning Hindi 4 months ago via the Internet and also watching hindi movies. Because of my interest in the Hindi language and culture, my wife's gift for me for Christmas was Rosetta Stone online. My speed of learning has drastically increased since then thanks to the language tools devised by Rosetta Stone. Its methods of teaching in the form of graphical and aural repetition does indeed work in a very effective way. I highly recommend Rosetta Stone language learning tools."

-Bahman

Rosetta Stone has a nice flow to it.

"It's a nice integrated interface. I am still working through the first disc of Hindi. I like that the actual practice is fully in hindi audio and devanagari script. It feels great to realize gains in a language just through that language. The interface makes it easy to do that, without having to have hints or instructions in English. I haven't come across any bugs yet. Very good product so far!"

About the script.

Hindi is written in the Devanagari script. Written left to right, Devanagari has 52 symbols and, like many Latin-based languages, accents to indicate nasalization and aspiration.
